When a group cops, the overwhelming majority being black, get together to protest the fact that a black (actually half black, but even he forgets that at times) football player isn't getting a job, in their delusional opinion, simply because he's black how can you even suggest that there isn't racial connotations behind their raised fists? | |

It means a lot of things. Context is important. In other news, our fearless leader seemed to be enjoying the eclipse... |

Are we living in the Twilight Zone? That's really the only logical conclusion I have for this mess we live. I just saw a story about an Asian play by play announcer got pulled from UVA for his name. Robert Lee. Some people may be offended, waahhh. ESPN even pulled the story. Too bad for them the Internet exists. |

| Re: News thread Exactly. And the context in that particular story was a photo of black cops. And you want to say it has nothing to do with black power? Quote:

It may be but that facts are ESPN wanted him safe and no pot stirring. That really screws up the story line though From cnn.... From ESPN's perspective, the executives were trying to guard against Lee becoming a punchline, given that he shares a name with a Confederate general. They foresaw memes and headlines "Robert Lee marches into Charlottesville." Moving Lee to a different game was seen as a way to support him.

A simple change to Bob Lee might be smart with the way things are going :p
